Questions & Answers about تشکیل کمیتهی جدید و تفویض وظایف دیروز اتفاق افتاد.
I see تشکیل matches the 'ta-C1-C2-i-C3' pattern. What is its root, and how does it relate to the meaning formation?
The root here is ش-ک-ل (sh-k-l), which relates to form, shape, or figure. By slotting these root letters into the 'ta-C1-C2-i-C3' pattern (the Arabic Form II verbal noun), you get تشکیل (ta-sh-k-i-l), which carries the active, causative meaning of making or giving shape to something, hence formation. You might also recognize this root in the simple noun شکل (shekl, meaning shape).
Is تفویض (delegation) another example of the 'ta-C1-C2-i-C3' pattern?
Yes! It follows the exact same structure. The root is ف-و-ض (f-v-z in Farsi pronunciation). Slotting those into the pattern gives you ت-ف-و-ی-ض (ta-f-v-i-z). This pattern very frequently creates nouns that describe the action of doing something, such as delegating in this case.
The word for tasks, وظایف, lacks a standard Persian plural ending like ها. How is this plural formed?
This is an Arabic broken plural. Instead of adding a suffix, the internal vowel structure of the word changes. The singular form is وظیفه (vazife, meaning task or duty). At the B2 level, recognizing these common broken plurals alongside their singular forms is highly recommended.
Why is there an explicit ی added to کمیته but not to تفویض when both link to the next word?
Both words use the ezāfe to link to their modifiers (formation of the new committee, delegation of tasks). However, because کمیته (komite) ends in a silent 'h' acting as a vowel, Farsi spelling requires the explicit consonant ی to carry the ezāfe sound, written as کمیتهی. Since تفویض ends in a consonant, its ezāfe is just a spoken 'e' vowel and remains unwritten.
Why is the verb افتاد (fell) used here to mean happened?
In Farsi, the concept of happening or occurring is expressed using the compound verb اتفاق افتادن (ettefagh oftadan), which literally translates to an event falling. اتفاق (ettefagh) means event or occurrence, and افتاد is the simple past tense of افتادن (to fall).
